Welcome to this FAQ where I will point out and explain some
aspects of the game Divinity II - Ego Draconis.
This FAQ is not a "Go there, then there, then there to complete the main
quest. Take these skills for uber pwnage." or a "There is the phat loot!"
guide.
It merely is representing some helpful tips to the beginners
because the game is quite complex the first time you play it.

========================1. Game Introduction=================================
=============================================================================
Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis is a third person roleplaying game with action
elements, lots of random generated loot like in Diablo 2, a base for
yourself where you can upgrade your equipment and last but not least,
the ability to transform into a dragon.
This all combined with the intriguing storyline, and the very strange humor
it sometimes displays makes it a good game.
And so the story starts...
You recently finished training on the Dragonslayer Academy and now you are
ready to have the knowledge of the dragons imprented into your mind.
Unfortunately has this the side effect that you forget everything you
learned so far, but hey, you at least get nice blue glowing eyes and you
are now a Dragon slayer.
But then reports come in of a Dragon being sighted in a nearby village.
After some investigation you meet that Dragon.. and from there it goes
even further down the drain and in the end you have to save the world.
=============================================================================
========================2. Character Generation==============================
=============================================================================
Character generation is rather easy.
The name: Its rather unimportant, and the default 'Slayer' is
not my first choice to be honest.
You then select between a 'Male' character, or a 'Female' one.
-Male-
You get three hairsets, with two colors each.
Then you can chose between five different faces, or rather beardstyles.
You then get to chose between 4 voicesets
-Female-
You get to choose between five different hairstyles, and three
different hair colors for those styles.
Not that this influences a lot, because most of the time you will be
wearing a helmet that covers your hair.
After this you can chose one out of 4 different voicesets, which will
only be used for combat cries at best, and mostly for deathcries.
To round it off you got 7 different faces, plus another 3 who are
just the same as before but are now with a scar over the eye.
There are no classes at first, but once you have the Dragon memories
imprinted you can chose between three teachers, to get some of your
abilities back. However you can always learn whatever you want to make
the character just how you like it.

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
========================4. The Dragontower===================================
=============================================================================
Eventually you will receive your very own Dragon Tower, complete with an
Alchemist, a smith, a skill trainer and a Necromancer.
Each of them can be upgraded twice for cheaper potions, better
enchantments, better skills, or a better Minion.
It also comes with your own Bard, your own Dancer, three scavengers
who will get you everything you want, with more or less success depending
on their equipment, and your very own corpse trader.
You can send the scavengers out to find stuff for you, like jewels or
herbs, that you then can use to create Potions or enchant equipment.
However you need to equip them with gear so that they success is more
guarenteed. They can't die however, but if they are hurt to badly they
refuse to go out until you send them to the alchemist to let them be healed.
========================4a The Alchemist=====================================
How to: To upgrade the Alchemist just talk to him and he will give you a
quest, fulfill that and you can perfom the upgrade.
Level 1: The basic Alchemist. Nothing special about it.
Level 2: Now you can ask your alchemist to brew yourself Superior
potions of Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence without having to pay
ingredients for them.
Level 3: The Ingredient cost is reduced, all potions are much cheaper.
========================4b The Smith=========================================
Level 1: The basic Smith, nothing special about him.
Level 2: You have three choices:
-Weapon
-Armor
-Trinkets
Depending on what you chose it will be cheaper to enchant these items.
Level 3: Same as level 2.
========================4c The skill Trainer=================================
Here you can pay to enhance your skill past the original limit of 5 points.
Level 1: You can raise your skill to 7
Level 2: You can raise your skill to 10
Level 3: You can raise your skill to 13
Note: I'm not to sure about these stats, but it does sound quite good.
========================4d The Necromancer===================================
Level 1: Your average Necromancer.
Level 2: Depending on your Necromancer has your creature increased Magical
Resistance or Physical Resistance.
Level 3: The effects of Level 2 increase.
You can also buy corpse parts which you can use to assamble your very own
necromantic minion and shape it to your liking.
========================4e The Necromantic Minion============================
THe necromantic Minion, by collecting body parts of your slain enemies,
which is sort of misleading since they are not really collected from
your slain enemies but you can find them rather on corpses, in chests, or
special enemies after killing them.
You already have access to it far earlier than he Dragontower,
but the true potential comes out with the Tower and the specialized
Necromancer you choose.
That doesn't means its bad at first, in fact is it quite vital.
However the Corpse Part Trader that comes with the Tower makes
creating your minion far more easier.
When making your minion you have four options to chose from.
The Head
The head can either be purely cosmetic, or something you want, like a head
of a goblin so the minion will at first throw fireballs at the enemy.
Or a head that allos them to use devastating warrior abilities. Generally
is the head useful for skills and save for that has no other use.
My choice: Fresh Disgusting Head.
Class: Fighter
Skills: Charge Attack 9, Death Attack 9
The Torso
The torso is mostly important for the Close Combat Resistance,
Ranged Resistance and Magic resistance. Save for that no further use.
My Choice: Perfect Goblin Torso
Features: +100% Melee Resistance
+100% Magic Resistance
+130% Ranged Resistance
The Arms
THey not only govern the damage your creature causes with a hit, but also
the additional HP it has. Some of the arms just give melee damage, others
give purely health. So it is to your own choice to decide what you prefer
and what is appropiate, a creature that will primarily attack with magic
will most probably not need any melee damage.
My Choice: Seamlessly cut of arm pieces.
Features: +100% Melee Damage
+100% Health
The Legs
They govern the Strong Body, Enhanced Reflexes, and the Indominable will
of your creature. Again are there some legs that are more specialized in
one aspect, but so lack other aspects.
My Choice: Seamlessly cut of leg pieces.
Features: +90% Strong Body
+90% Enhanced Reflexes
+90% Indominable Will
Also note that the Minion will always be the same level as you, and
level with you and so increase in power. The body parts are only
there to enhance his abilities.
My Level 34 Minion:
Damage: 54-54+(27-27)
Melee Resistance: 66%
Ranged Resistance: 66%
Magic Resistance: 66%
Strong Body: 34%
Enhanced Reflexes: 34%
Indominable Will: 34%
HP: 2736
=============================================================================
==============================5.Tips=========================================
=============================================================================
At first using Mindread is quite expansive, some people need more than
3000 Xp to read their mind. Often is it worth though because you can get
Skillpoints from them this way. Or alternatively, quests, which in turn are
worth XP too.
Later on its not this important anymore since many enemies are worth
1000 XP, and so you easily get it in again.
But at the start is it quite heavy.
No matter what skills you opt to use, take Mana drain, especially when you
are a melee oriented warrior. That way you never run out of mana.
Summoning your Minion takes 50% if your maximum mana.
You can't have more than one summon (Ghost/Zombie/Demon) out at a time.
Charming your enemies works wonders, they have one less combatant and you
have one more. The higher levels of it allow you to charm more enemies at
the same time.
Equipment plays an important role, always aim to have the best gear
avaible.
Since the items are generated randomly can you save and reload for maximum
efficiency in getting the item you want. It does however take time.
Always keep seperate saves, you may never know what lurks around the next
tree.
The Dragon Skill 'Summon Ally' doesn't work as described. At the highest
level (5) should you be able to summon 3 level 32 Wyverns, but you are
only to summon 1. Each further use of the ability will make the old Wyvern
explode.
Confused on how to reach the other platforms in the Dragontower?
Press 'U' and you get a choice between the different platforms.
If you press Q will you automatically transform into a dragon, if there is
enough space.
Once you leave the first level, the dale, will you not be able to come back.
So do everything you can.
The Dragonvoice is not always correct, with the right tactics you can beat
even stronger foes than you should. If they are alone that is.

===========================8. Frequently Asked Questions=====================
=============================================================================
Q: Help! I can't find that tree in the south in the quest
'You sow what you seed'
A: Its a bug to be honest. The map pointer should be further in the north,
near the island in the middle of the sea.
Q: What does that "15/18/..." mean you type in the skill effect section?
A: It shows the varios effects of it of the skills, the first one is the
first level, second level, third level, etc. As far as I could test it
with my character. So "15/18.../ seconds" would mean that it lasts 15
seconds on the first level, 18 on the second level, and more then on
the third.
Q: You typed Damage 54-54+(27-27) when describing your encromantic minion,
what does that mean?
A: Weapons, and damage, can also cause magical damage which is displayed
in extra blue numbers behind the normal physical damage. This only means
my minion causes 54 physical damage with each hit, and 27 magical.
Q: Will you write all the skill damages and effects up to maximum level?
A: Doubtful, considering you can train your skills up to level 13, and you
need Level 35 to be able to invest the 13th skillpoint into the skill
then. Not only that but it will be a lot of work to write it all down,
and if it should be changed in a future patch would it all be good for
nothing.
Q: I heard that there are Dragon abilities too? Why are they not in the
skill list.
A: There are overall 7 Dragon abilities and you get enough skillpoints
to max 4 of them, and boost the rest to reasonable levels with equipment.
I also didn't want to start a new game to find out what the first level
of those skills does and then wait until I get my first point to see the
second level of them, and so on.
Q: Where can I find X?
A: I don't know, this is not the reason for this FAQ. I just give a general
layout of the game and offer some tips, not an exact guide of where to
get what.
Q: I can't get past the Statues in Keara's Flying Fortress.
A: The trick is that they are all lying. Not that that helped me much to
begin with, I also had my problems with them. Anycase, here is the
solution.
The Loen statue is Devastation
In the Plant room is the left one Waste , the right one is Chaos
In the Lava room is the left one Havoc, the right one is Mayhem

===========================9. Evaluation of the game=========================
=============================================================================
Graphics: The Graphics are quite nice and fluidly looking with a love for
detail. Sometimes they are off though. Chasms of a castle that has
been subject to rain for decades and there are edges that look
razor sharp and ready to impale someone if they should fall onto
it? Not really.
The landscape is great though, and the sun glaring too.
Difficulty: Tricky that. Often are battles either to easy or to hard. Very
rarely is there anything inbetween. Fortunately you can always
go to another place and level there slowly, until you feel ready.
Gameplay: Turning into a dragon? Awesome!
Flying around as a dragon. Double awesome.
Not able to spit fire at ground enemies.
Not so awesome.
Ground anemies that become invisible when turning into a dragon?
Boring.
Having an undead pet that urinates everywhere, even in cutscenes?
The best of all.
Safe for that is the battle system quite stable, sometimes aiming
is a bit tricky but you get the hang of it quickly.
Bugs: In the time I played it I barely encountered any groundbreaking
bugs. Occasionally will random baskets and scenery items,
which you can destroy, move around over the floor as if moved
by a ghost hand. Once I had to end the game via the task manager
because the quest NPC who was supposed to open a door, got stuck
behind me and couln't open it. The cutscene never ended because
of that, but that was the only time I ever encountered something
like this.
Another time allowed a bug me to proceed further ahead, without
displaying any enemies nor buildings, which caused me to kill a
boss. After leaving and returning were the buildings and enemies
all of a sudden there. But after I destroyed some of the
buildings were the effects they displyed still there, and
unfortunatley that meant that the barrier ahead would not
disapear. Sadly did reloading the game did not fix it. But
fortunately I could still pass using a teleporter.
There is one massive gamebreaking bug at the end of the game
though, after the end scene rolled and the credits played will
the game simply freeze and lockup. Only via the task manager can
the game be shut down. Fortunately is that the only gamebreaking
bug, however if there is a new game+ then its quite severe.
Overall: It is a good game with lots of fun, interesting quests,
interesting characters and lots of possibilities for your
character to be developed. Not to forget that there are various
things throghout the game that are very amusing, like a book
called 'The universe, life itself, and simply everything'
(Hitchikers guide through Galaxy), or a feracious devastating
Killer Rabbit (Monthy Pythons - The holy Grail).
I am sure there are more eastereggs like these, that will
make you laugh quite a lot.
Only problem is that eventually you killed every foe, explored
every cave, and there is just nothing to do anymore.
Respawning enemies would've been fun.
Another thing, the ending... I won't spoil anything, but it
is quite a surprising ending.
My guess is that there will be an expansion, or perhaps a
third part of the series. But who knows.

So here is my second FAQ. Sure been some time since I last wrote one. In
either case, I did my best and might or might not update it. Depending on
the feedback, demand, and what else.
So long, dark_scourge
